What Is Microneedling?
This technique involves the use of fine needles that create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen. Leveraging your skin’s innate healing processes, this method effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines, scars, and wrinkles. Microneedling is a straightforward, minimally invasive option, offering the flexibility to undergo the treatment as frequently or infrequently as desired. It is an ideal choice for those aiming to soften fine lines or address acne scars.

FAQs
Why is microneedling done with Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Studies have shown that PRP can expedite the healing process of tissues and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring when used with microneedling. PRP contains proteins and several growth factors that regulate and activate cell migration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
How does it work?
A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.

Does it hurt?
If you have sensitive skin, you can apply a numbing cream to minimize pain during the treatment.
